Definitions
- the invention relates to a hose made from an elastic material according to the preamble of claim 1 .
- the invention furthermore relates to a hose made from an elastic material, which comprises at least two branch-off points, according to claim 13 .
- the invention furthermore relates to a use of such a hose for transporting a coolant for cooling batteries and to a battery arrangement for electric or hybrid vehicles.
- a hose clip When assembling a hose on a hose connector, a hose clip is frequently used in order to fix the hose on the hose connector and guarantee a secure and lasting seal.
- the work procedure usually consists in that the hose clip is firstly loosely pushed over the hose, a hose end piece then being pushed over the hose connector, then the hose clip being positioned and held in an assembly region in the region of the hose end piece and finally fastened. When fastening the hose clip, the latter is contracted so that through the hose clip the hose is pressed against the hose connector.
- Such a hose clip fastening is known for example from DE 88 08 680 U1.
- the invention is based on the object of stating a hose with which the assembly by means of a hose clip described before is simplified. Furthermore, advantageous usage possibilities for such a hose are to be stated.
- the invention facilitates the assembly of hoses with hose clips. It is advantageous that the hose end piece is molded through at least one thickened portion protruding from the outside of the hose in such a manner that the hose clip prior to the final fixing, can be captively put on. Because of this, the hose clip is held in the position that is correct for the assembly and merely has to still be finally fixed, for example by tightening a clamping screw or crimping.
- the thickened portion is formed in such a manner that a hose clip that is suitable for fastening the hose on the hose connector is held on the hose end piece by the thickened portion at least against the influence of gravity, when the latter is effective in the longitudinal direction of the hose end piece.
- the thickened portion in this case allows the hose clip to be pushed over because of the elasticity of the material of the hose or of the thickened portion used. In this way, the hose clip is securely held on the hose end at least with respect to the influence of gravity and cannot fall down.
- the invention has a particularly positive effect on assembly times of hoses and the costs connected with this when a large number of hoses or hose end pieces have to be assembled on respective hose connectors, such as for example in the case of cooling liquid systems, wherein a larger quantity of cooling circuits has to be connected to the hose or a plurality of hose end pieces via separate hose connectors.
- Exemplary applications can be found in the region of fluid-cooled battery arrangements for electric or hybrid vehicles, in the field of air-conditioning technology, in cooling systems for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles or in washing machines.
- the thickened portion according to the invention can be molded highly differently in many configurations. It is significant that the thickened portion results in a shaping of the hose end piece such that the hose clip cannot by its own action easily leave a desired position.
- the thickened portion can for example be formed as one or a plurality of nubs or ring-shaped elevations with regular or irregular shaping.
- the surface of the thickened portion facing outward can be smooth or provided with a structure which can be nubbed or grained.
- One or a plurality of thickened portions can be provided.
- the thickened portion can be formed from the hose material or another suitable material.
- the thickened portion need not of necessity be produced in one piece with the hose.
- the thickened portion can also be inserted as an insert piece in a receiving location of the hose end piece.
- the thickened portion can be produced by adding additional materials to the hose end piece or by locally expanding the existing hose material. According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion runs completely about the outer circumference of the hose, for example in the form of a ring.
- the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose, about the outer circumference of the hose remains the same.
- the thickened portion is arranged in the assembly region of the hose clip.
- the thickened portion is formed running completely about the outer circumference of the hose, for example in ring form. It is likewise advantageous to configure the thickened portion in ring form, but with interruptions.
- Advantageous, in particular, is the configuration of the thickened portion in the form of a plurality of individual fins arranged about the outer circumference along a ring form, which protrude from the outside of the hose.
- At least two thickened portions are provided, which each run about the outer circumference of the hose sector-by-sector and each have the same spacing from the face end of the hose end piece.
- the thickened portions are evenly spaced from one another in the circumferential direction of the hose.
- more than two thickened portions can also be provided, for example three to eight.
- the thickened portion viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged in front of the assembly region for the hose clip.
- This has the advantage that the hose clip can be initially pushed over the thickened portion and then, without there being the risk of the hose clip falling off the hose end piece, the hose end piece can be pushed over the hose connector.
- the hose clip is quasi automatically located also in the correct location of the hose end piece, namely in the assembly region. A further manual adjustment can thus be omitted. Because of this, a hose assembly with the face end of the hose end piece facing downward is particularly facilitated.
- the thickened portion viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged behind the assembly region for the hose clip.
- This has the advantage that through the thickened portion slipping away of the hose clip into a hose section located further away from the face end of the hose end piece is prevented.
- the advantage arises that the hose clip is held in its assembly position in the assembly region of the hose end piece.
- At least one first thickened portion viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged in front of the assembly region for the hose clip.
- At least one second thickened portion viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged behind the assembly region for the hose clip.
- the spacing between the first and the second thickened portion is equal in size or slightly larger than the width of the hose clip. Because of this, the hose clip is fixed in a certain position and has only little or no play in the longitudinal direction of the hose end piece.
- the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose decreases in the direction of the face end of the hose end piece.
- the decrease can run for example linearly or in the shape of an arc. Because of this, a certain slope of the thickened portion in the direction of the face end is provided, which facilitates the placing and guiding of the hose clip over the thickened portion as far as into the assembly region.
- the sum of the outer diameter of the hose end piece and the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose is greater than the inner diameter of the hose clip in the loose state.
- Loose state is understood to mean the state of the hose clip as delivered. This has the advantage that a secure hold of the hose clip on the hose end piece is made possible.
- the thickened portion completely runs about the outer circumference of the hose, has a circular outer contour viewing the face end of the hose end piece from the top and has a diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of the hose clip in the loose state. This allows a simple production of the thickened portion.
- the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose is in the range from 1 to 4 mm.
- This has the advantage that the use of hose clips with standard diameters is favored. For each usual hose diameter, a suitable hose clip with a standard diameter can be selected. Said hose clip can then be pushed over the thickened portion comfortably and without damage and is additionally held by the thickened portion once pushed over.
- the hose comprises at least two branch-off points.
- a hose section having in each case a hose end piece is arranged.
- Such a hose can advantageously be used as a distribution hose (manifold), for example for passing on and distributing cooling fluid.
- the hose in particular, can be provided with a larger number of branch-off points, for example 6 or 10.
- the invention additionally relates to a hose made from an elastic material, wherein the hose comprises at least two branch-off points, on each of which a hose section having in each case a hose end piece is arranged, which is formed for assembly on a hose connector by pushing the hose end piece over the hose connector and for fastening on the hose connector by a hose clip to be arranged in the region of the hose end piece.
- a hose is advantageously suitable as a distribution hose for coolant, e.g. a cooling fluid, for example for cooling batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles.
- the invention therefore also relates to a use of a hose of the type mentioned before for transporting a coolant for cooling batteries, in particular for electric or hybrid vehicles.
- the invention furthermore relates to a battery arrangement for electric or hybrid vehicles with a plurality of individual battery elements, each of which comprises a coolant supply connection and a coolant discharge connection, wherein the coolant supply connections are interconnected and to a coolant source via a hose of the type described before and/or the coolant discharge connections are interconnected and connected to a coolant sink via a hose of the type described above.
- Each battery element can for example comprise a plurality of cylindrical round cells or prismatic cells.

The invention furthermore relates to a use of such a hose for transporting a coolant for cooling batteries and to a battery arrangement for electric or hybrid vehicles. - When assembling a hose on a hose connector, a hose clip is frequently used in order to fix the hose on the hose connector and guarantee a secure and lasting seal. The work procedure usually consists in that the hose clip is firstly loosely pushed over the hose, a hose end piece then being pushed over the hose connector, then the hose clip being positioned and held in an assembly region in the region of the hose end piece and finally fastened. When fastening the hose clip, the latter is contracted so that through the hose clip the hose is pressed against the hose connector.
- Such a hose clip fastening is known for example from DE 88 08 680 U1.
- The invention is based on the object of stating a hose with which the assembly by means of a hose clip described before is simplified. Furthermore, advantageous usage possibilities for such a hose are to be stated.
- This object is solved through the invention stated in the
claims - The invention facilitates the assembly of hoses with hose clips. It is advantageous that the hose end piece is molded through at least one thickened portion protruding from the outside of the hose in such a manner that the hose clip prior to the final fixing, can be captively put on. Because of this, the hose clip is held in the position that is correct for the assembly and merely has to still be finally fixed, for example by tightening a clamping screw or crimping. Here, the thickened portion is formed in such a manner that a hose clip that is suitable for fastening the hose on the hose connector is held on the hose end piece by the thickened portion at least against the influence of gravity, when the latter is effective in the longitudinal direction of the hose end piece. The thickened portion in this case allows the hose clip to be pushed over because of the elasticity of the material of the hose or of the thickened portion used. In this way, the hose clip is securely held on the hose end at least with respect to the influence of gravity and cannot fall down.
- The invention has a particularly positive effect on assembly times of hoses and the costs connected with this when a large number of hoses or hose end pieces have to be assembled on respective hose connectors, such as for example in the case of cooling liquid systems, wherein a larger quantity of cooling circuits has to be connected to the hose or a plurality of hose end pieces via separate hose connectors.
- Exemplary applications can be found in the region of fluid-cooled battery arrangements for electric or hybrid vehicles, in the field of air-conditioning technology, in cooling systems for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles or in washing machines.
- The thickened portion according to the invention can be molded highly differently in many configurations. It is significant that the thickened portion results in a shaping of the hose end piece such that the hose clip cannot by its own action easily leave a desired position. The thickened portion can for example be formed as one or a plurality of nubs or ring-shaped elevations with regular or irregular shaping. The surface of the thickened portion facing outward can be smooth or provided with a structure which can be nubbed or grained. One or a plurality of thickened portions can be provided.
- Basically all elastic materials are possible as elastic material for the hose, in particular rubber-elastic materials and elastomers such as for example rubber or silicone. The thickened portion can be formed from the hose material or another suitable material. The thickened portion need not of necessity be produced in one piece with the hose. The thickened portion can also be inserted as an insert piece in a receiving location of the hose end piece. Advantageous, however, is a one-piece formation of the thickened portion with the hose in a uniform production process.
- The thickened portion can be produced by adding additional materials to the hose end piece or by locally expanding the existing hose material. According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion runs completely about the outer circumference of the hose, for example in the form of a ring.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose, about the outer circumference of the hose, remains the same.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion is arranged in the assembly region of the hose clip. This has the advantage that even with a single thickened portion the hose clip can be held in its final assembly position. Advantageously, the thickened portion is formed running completely about the outer circumference of the hose, for example in ring form. It is likewise advantageous to configure the thickened portion in ring form, but with interruptions. Advantageous, in particular, is the configuration of the thickened portion in the form of a plurality of individual fins arranged about the outer circumference along a ring form, which protrude from the outside of the hose.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least two thickened portions are provided, which each run about the outer circumference of the hose sector-by-sector and each have the same spacing from the face end of the hose end piece. In a further advantageous development, the thickened portions are evenly spaced from one another in the circumferential direction of the hose. Advantageously, more than two thickened portions can also be provided, for example three to eight.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion, viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged in front of the assembly region for the hose clip. This has the advantage that the hose clip can be initially pushed over the thickened portion and then, without there being the risk of the hose clip falling off the hose end piece, the hose end piece can be pushed over the hose connector. Insofar as the hose end piece is effected with a spatial orientation in which the face end points in the direction of gravity, the hose clip is quasi automatically located also in the correct location of the hose end piece, namely in the assembly region. A further manual adjustment can thus be omitted. Because of this, a hose assembly with the face end of the hose end piece facing downward is particularly facilitated.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion, viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged behind the assembly region for the hose clip. This has the advantage that through the thickened portion slipping away of the hose clip into a hose section located further away from the face end of the hose end piece is prevented. In particular in the presence of a gravity component during the assembly of the hose clip away from the face end the advantage arises that the hose clip is held in its assembly position in the assembly region of the hose end piece.
- It is likewise advantageous to provide both a thickened portion in front of the assembly region as well as a further thickened portion behind the assembly region. Because of this, the hose clip can be fixed in both directions.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, at least one first thickened portion, viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged in front of the assembly region for the hose clip. At least one second thickened portion, viewed from the face end of the hose end piece, is arranged behind the assembly region for the hose clip. The spacing between the first and the second thickened portion is equal in size or slightly larger than the width of the hose clip. Because of this, the hose clip is fixed in a certain position and has only little or no play in the longitudinal direction of the hose end piece.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose decreases in the direction of the face end of the hose end piece. The decrease can run for example linearly or in the shape of an arc. Because of this, a certain slope of the thickened portion in the direction of the face end is provided, which facilitates the placing and guiding of the hose clip over the thickened portion as far as into the assembly region.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the sum of the outer diameter of the hose end piece and the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose is greater than the inner diameter of the hose clip in the loose state. Loose state is understood to mean the state of the hose clip as delivered. This has the advantage that a secure hold of the hose clip on the hose end piece is made possible.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the thickened portion completely runs about the outer circumference of the hose, has a circular outer contour viewing the face end of the hose end piece from the top and has a diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of the hose clip in the loose state. This allows a simple production of the thickened portion.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the dimension by which the thickened portion protrudes from the outside of the hose is in the range from 1 to 4 mm. This has the advantage that the use of hose clips with standard diameters is favored. For each usual hose diameter, a suitable hose clip with a standard diameter can be selected. Said hose clip can then be pushed over the thickened portion comfortably and without damage and is additionally held by the thickened portion once pushed over.
- According to an advantageous development of the invention, the hose comprises at least two branch-off points. On each of the branch-off points, a hose section having in each case a hose end piece is arranged. Such a hose can advantageously be used as a distribution hose (manifold), for example for passing on and distributing cooling fluid. The hose, in particular, can be provided with a larger number of branch-off points, for example 6 or 10. Through the respective thickened portions provided on the hose end pieces, the assembly of such a hose by means of hose clips is facilitated and accelerated.
- In addition, all previously described embodiments of the hose or of the thickened portions can be advantageously inter-combined.
- The invention additionally relates to a hose made from an elastic material, wherein the hose comprises at least two branch-off points, on each of which a hose section having in each case a hose end piece is arranged, which is formed for assembly on a hose connector by pushing the hose end piece over the hose connector and for fastening on the hose connector by a hose clip to be arranged in the region of the hose end piece. Such a hose is advantageously suitable as a distribution hose for coolant, e.g. a cooling fluid, for example for cooling batteries for electric or hybrid vehicles.
- The invention therefore also relates to a use of a hose of the type mentioned before for transporting a coolant for cooling batteries, in particular for electric or hybrid vehicles.
- The invention furthermore relates to a battery arrangement for electric or hybrid vehicles with a plurality of individual battery elements, each of which comprises a coolant supply connection and a coolant discharge connection, wherein the coolant supply connections are interconnected and to a coolant source via a hose of the type described before and/or the coolant discharge connections are interconnected and connected to a coolant sink via a hose of the type described above. Each battery element can for example comprise a plurality of cylindrical round cells or prismatic cells.
